Telnet, POP3, File Queues

[dre]

Hi All,

 

I would like the following notifications available;

 

- POP3 Check -> The Pulseway service checks a particular mailbox via POP3 and checks the amount of messages; if messages exceed # -> Alert.

- Telnet on #Port -> The Pulseway service checks telnet on a particular port towards an IP. If Telnet fails, -> Alert.

- Files -> The Pulseway service checks a directory on amount of files, if file count exceed #-> Alert.

 

We're in a trial period now, these 3 feature requests are a real deal breaker.

 

Thanks

Hi Dre,

 

Welcome to the Pulseway community!

 

POP3 Check -> The Pulseway service checks a particular mailbox via POP3 and checks the amount of messages; if messages exceed # -> Alert.

Thank you for your feedback, I've added on our lists.

 

Telnet on #Port -> The Pulseway service checks telnet on a particular port towards an IP. If Telnet fails, -> Alert.

This is already possible with Pulseway's port monitoring feature.

 

Files -> The Pulseway service checks a directory on amount of files, if file count exceed #-> Alert.

This can be achieved with a very simple Pulseway plugin (or via a batch script and making use of the Notification Bridge plugin to send Pulseway notifications).

Hi Chris,

 

Thanks for your reply, I've found the Port Monitoring feature.

 

Can you explain me how to deal with the File count? Simple Pulseway plugin?

 

Thanks

Hi Dre,

 

Create a plugin that only overrides the PluginDataCheck method and inside use int fileCount = myDir.GetFiles().Length; where myDir is a System.IO.Directory object. If the fileCount is greater than your threshold call the method SendNotificationToAllDevices and notify the user.

Hi Chris,

 

Would be nice to have some kind of guide for your last reply. Can you send me a step by step guide by email?

 

Any idea when POP3 monitoring will be enabled?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Dre,

 

Creating Plugins require some programming knowledge for the very least so if you want to get started we recommend you first take a look on our Plugin Tutorial.

Hi Chris,

 

Any idea if File count in a directory is already considered as a feature. I can't get it to work. And it's getting a requirement.

Thx

Hi Dre,

You mentioned that you can't get 'it' to work. Have you tried building a plugin? How did that go? Maybe I can help you.

Hi Chris,

Not knowing were to start and would like to have it natively in the notifications options.

Thanks!
